BIB Notes: The Play Tessie Guys Are Draftting WBC Teams

But this time around, I feel like the WBC, since it started... I mean, at first...

Baseball Isn’t Boring

Fair amount of guys did it.

BIB Notes: The Play Tessie Guys Are Draftting WBC Teams

Now it's like everyone's doing it.

And the only reason guys are not doing it is because they're turned down for insurance purposes.

Unfortunately, Team Puerto Rico is probably going a little bit later in this draft than they would have had half their team.

Honestly, looking at their roster today, more than half their team, talent-wise, it looked like.

Pool play, like basically it's teams are in pools of five.

BIB Notes: The Play Tessie Guys Are Draftting WBC Teams

There's four pools, 20 total teams, and they play their own pool.

And then the top two teams from each pool make it to the quarterfinals.

BIB Notes: The Play Tessie Guys Are Draftting WBC Teams

So in pool play, if a team that you draft wins a game, you get a point.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
